Screens and Parenting in the Digital Age in 2 Sessions

Technology enriches our lives every day and we should embrace it without fear! However, to fully appreciate the benefits and freedoms that come from technology, it must be responsibly managed.  Our goal with this workshop is to equip and encourage you with information and practical ideas to help you put together and implement a technology/device strategy and plan for your family.

7/9 Session – Neurological and Behavioral Impact

• Brain development and neurological effects of screens

• Behavioral impact of screens

• Parenting funnel and self assessment

7/16 Session – Screen time stewardship and strategy

• Family values and standards - Conveying expectations and boundaries.

• Ongoing conversations and accountability

Description

Getting on the same “parenting” page with your spouse is important. So we highly recommend that that both parents attend the class together.

We also welcome and encourage single parents to join us!

This 2 week workshop is $25 per household or $60 for all 3 summer workshops!
